FBF California Flag Sock

Product Description

The California State Flag was first flown during "The Bear Flag Revolt" in 1846. However it was not the first to fly over California. In 1836 "The Lone Star Flag" flew after a revolt against Mexico which won Monterey but not total freedom from Mexico. That Lone 5 point Red Star became part of the current flag. The original Bear Flag was raised and reported seen on June 17, 1846 by US Lieutenant Missroon over Sonoma, California. The Bear Republic Flag had a quick existance. Commodore John Drake Sloat raised the US Flag over Monterey July 7, 1846 and two days later Lieutenant Joseph Warren Revere stuck "The Bear Flag" and raised the "Stars and Stripes" over Sonoma, California. The "Bear Flag" went to Washington D.C. but was given back to California's Senators to bring back to California in 1855. In 1906 the original flag was destroyed in the fire after San Francisco's Earthquake.California Flag Sock is about loving California.
